Going from Manaoag to Baguio City

December is the best month to visit Baguio City. However, wouldn’t it be nice to pay respect first to Our Lady of Manaoag  before heading towards the summer capital of the Philippines? 



By the time we visited the Church, its front entrance was being renovated. So we were directed to its side entrance which is just along the main road. 

A year ago , I have written a blog on how to go to Manaoag by bus (http://swazigirl.blogspot.com/2012/11/how-to-go-to-manaoag-by-bus.html).  Well, we still traveled by bus, though this time, we headed to Baguio City afterwards.

Now going to Baguio City is very easy. There are vans across the side entrance of the church that could take you there for 90 pesos. Travel time is  approximately 2  to 2 1/2 hours.


Once you reach the terminal, there are taxi cabs everywhere that could take you to your desired place of stay. In our case, we stayed at HOTEL 45 (extension) which is conveniently located at Leonard Wood Road. It has easy access to Baguio Cathedral, SM Baguio and etc. At a rate of 1100pesos/ night ( with breakfast), what more could you ask for?

  3. Hi Rona! Thanks for this info. Just want to ask if you made prior arrangements or reservations to the hotel or just walk-in? And any suggestions about taking a cab there to go around the tourist spots. What is the ideal number of days to stay in Baguio?

    1. hi! we did not make prior arrangements..

      cabs are readily available. U just have to list all the sites which u would want to visit... i have no idea how much is cab rental for the city tour.

      For me, u could stay for 3d/2n in Baguio if your time is limited. It is just a small city and just enough to explore everything, relax and unwind. enjoy!
